Hitting out at the Bollywood actress, Bachchan, Vivek wrote, “Have you guys heard of a term called ‘costume Slaves.’ They are mostly girls (a suited man in this case). You can see them now in India too with almost every female celeb. Why are we becoming so stupid and oppressive just for such uncomfortable fashion?”
